WAYS TO STOP BALDNESS AND HOW TO INCREASE HAIR TO THE SCALP

Doctor Prescribed Medications  

A Doctor may recommend a medication that can block hormones responsible for hair loss, however, blocking hormones may have other side effects like the lowering of the libido which may open pandora’s box for more medications and other side effects.

Low Level Light Restoration Therapies

Low level light therapy is a laser that can increase scalp circulation and oxygen to the hair follicles; several treatments are required and are time consuming as one has to sit through the process, the entire treatment series may end up being too costly for your condition to try

Surgical Hair Replacement

Hair transplants may be painful and they are expensive.  Transplants or plugs require the transfer of healthy hair follicles from the back of the head to the top balding areas.  Not all hair follicles will be successful and there will be a large horizontal permanent scar hidden in the back of the head (the donor area), therefore, in essence, there will be less hair on the scalp after the hair transplant procedure but the hair will be more spread out in a way that specific bald spots are not as visible.

Hairpiece Cover-Up Solutions

A ‘hair-system’ (as advertised on late night television commercials) is another way of refering to a hairpiece, toupee or custom wig.  You can order and receive these items to be custom made.  However, hairpieces are expensive and if one chooses to have one made with real hair, the hair will match the existing hair but it will not be from one’s own person, the hair will be form another anonymous donor.  The synthetic hair version is less expensive but may also be highly flammable with a not so realistic appearance (referred to as the ‘doll head’ look).

 Although a successful custom hairpiece fit will not be readily recognized as such once it is weaved into the existing hair, the grid on the scalp may be detected at close contact. As the hair begins to grow the weave will loosen so the hairpiece becomes a high maintenance item that will require frequent costly visits to adjust it with every haircut. Hairpieces may even contribute to more hair loss in the areas that they are adhered to thus widening the covered balding area and another hairpiece may be required in the future as a result.

Hair Loss Melbourne Solutions

Hair Loss Mesotherapy

Hair loss Mesotherapy is an increasingly popular treatment in Europe and the US. It’s finally arrived to Australia and Melbourne. This method involves administering shallow microinjections of a compounded mixture directly into the thinning hair scalp.

The mixture contains specific B complex vitamins and minerals used for scalp support and hair growth stimulation, as well as a Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) blocking agent to counteract the problem of androgenic alopecia. The scalp is cleaned and anaesthetised prior to treatment with the topical application of a numbing cream, followed by the mesotherapy injections which are administered by a trained medical practitioner.

It is recommended to have a course of six treatment sessions spaced fortnightly, followed by maintenance treatment thereafter. Individual recommendations may differ depending on the condition of the scalp and degree of hair loss.
